Plaintiff accuses apartment complex management of negligence leading to hazardous living conditions
A tenant’s legal battle against her apartment complex has taken a dramatic turn as she files a lawsuit over alleged negligence leading to hazardous living conditions. Phoebe Tateronis filed the complaint in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on December 19, 2024, against MacAlpine Place Apartment Partners, Ltd., accusing them of failing to maintain safe living conditions.
According to the complaint, Phoebe Tateronis has been residing at MacAlpine Place Apartments located at 391 Duncan West Loop, Apt. 102, Dunedin, FL. The lawsuit claims that MacAlpine Place Apartment Partners neglected their duty as property owners and managers by allowing water intrusion in Tateronis’s apartment. This negligence allegedly resulted in mold growth throughout the unit. The plaintiff asserts that despite having actual or constructive knowledge of this hazardous condition, the defendant failed to take reasonable steps to repair the water intrusion and prevent further mold development.
Tateronis argues that this breach of duty has caused her significant harm. She alleges suffering from bodily injuries deemed permanent within a reasonable degree of medical probability. The damages claimed include pain and suffering, disability, mental anguish, loss of capacity for enjoyment of life, and expenses related to medical care and treatment. The plaintiff believes these damages are either permanent or ongoing and anticipates future losses due to the defendant’s alleged negligence.
